Hi fellow 420 mag growmies: My intro

[TheMaverickFarmer]

Hi everyone,
Indoor farmer in beautiful British Columbia. Few in and out gardens under my belt, still learning lots, first set-up indoor in a long time. Currently rockin' 4x AK-47s "fast flower" strain in a 4x4 and 3x3 tent powered by a new Mars Hydro FC-E 4800 and Mars Hydro TSW 2000 respectively.
My ladies sit comfortably in a mix of about 50% coco, 15% worm castings, 15% fish soil, 20% perlite and are on the Green Planet Medi-One program for nutrients for the most part + some add ons
Currently second week of flower, will keep ya'll posted! ....Pictures are older ones

Hey maverick! Welcome to 420Mag.
That's a beauty of a setup you got going and the plants are showing it, awesome color.

Are you planning to start a grow journal? That would be the way to go for keeping an updated thread. Not sure how "forum savvy" you are, but if you need a helpful link, there's one in my signature below on how to start a journal. In the journals section there's also other helpful pinned threads to keep you moving along.

Anyways, if you start one up tag me in it with the @ function. Saying high from over here in Saskatchewan!

Welcome mavrick! Sweet grow!

 

[TheMaverickFarmer]

Thanks!
I intend to start a journal pretty soon, gals are looking sharp right now but I'm sure I'll be needing a hand at some point this being only my second time indoors, first time long long time ago... not to mention new to the LED world, new to Coco also, new to high frequency fertigation and all that good stuff.
So far so good but i know it can go downhill in a hurry...fingers crossed!
Here's some more recent pictures, i made a mistake in my my intro...i have 3 not 4 AK-47's fast flowering strain

Welcome to 420magazine my friend.
Fantastic ladies. What are you feeding them because they are hungry.
They need more nutrition than they are getting now
But excellent set up.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the reply! They're on Green Planet Medi-One "organic" program.... Medi-one, Massive Bloom, Rezin, Liquid Weight. I also throw some Cal-pro in there, Gro-Silic (monosilicic acid), GPF Uptake (humic/folvic acid). PPM is about a 1000 right now, run-off around 900-950...ph6.2-6.4. They're fed 4-5 times a day, about a gallon each of water.
You think it needs more?

 

[Buds Buddy]

Some sweet looking ladies there. Nice Job !

 

[Buds Buddy]

Just noticed something & why your plants may be a little on the light green side. You said you are growing in Coco & pH is 6.2 - 6.4. You treat Coco like Hydro & pH to 5.8.

I think @Buds Buddy beat me too it. Ph is off.
5.8 every time in coco.
1000 ppm by week two is plenty of nutrients she just isn't able to eat most of them at that ph. Not available.
Try 5.8 and she will green up for you.
One other thing is there wood or concrete under your floor? If concrete they could have cold feet. I keep my pots off the floor.

The ph range i use is the one recommended by the manufacturer. The schedule is specifically designed for drain to waste application. Im also in a coco/soil mix and not just coco / perlite.... See ph recommendations on the bottom of the sheet.
That beeing said, i have no problem trying lower ph. Will try lower it but and see what happens.
Cheers!

Worm castings aren’t soil.
coco is hydroponic 5.8 ph.
She will green up.

[Buds Buddy]

In the bottom right corner of your nutes it says 5.8 - 6.5. If you want to hit all the pH levels to take up each nute you start with 5.8 pH. The pH drifts upward naturally through the other ranges.

Thanks!
Defoliated a bit yesterday, they seem to really love it, bud sites are really starting to shape up now. Yeaaa! What a difference a night makes!
Adjusted my ph today a couple of points down as suggested by Bill and Buds Buddy.. I'll be reporting on the results in the next few days, they were given a good shot of GP PK Spike couple days ago and adjusted my Cal-pro feed to full strength as I was about 2/3 of recommended dose. She should be poppin' pretty good now.
Here's some shots from this morning
